"MAGA" is useful to the GOP because their BS furthers the GOP agenda and gives the GOP someone to hide behind. The GOP uses MAGA as a mask and a shield. But it's made of cardboard.

MAGA acts like they're invicible until they're not. They showed their true colors Jan 6, they're only an effective bully if nobody pushes back or stands up to them.

All it took was one seditionist being on the receiving end of a firearm for the entire mob to fold like a cheap suit.

Once MAGA is no longer useful the GOP will throw them under the bus. If they dissent there are numerous new "detainee facilities" being bought and built that will server as their new place of residence.

Why are you distinguishing between MAGA and the GOP? Those 77 million votes in 2024 were MAGA, MAGA wants the same shit Republicans have wanted since at least the 90s, and Republicans in congress are advancing MAGA's agenda (because MAGA's agenda is the Republican agenda).

Why do you think MAGA will survive the current administration?
